What work can your offshore team handle?

Start with recurring responsibilities and the decisions your team needs to review. These examples help you define the brief.

Property Administration

Log maintenance requests, organise inspection correspondence and follow up outstanding documents. Escalate urgent issues to the property manager.

Accounts and Reporting

Prepare rental records, invoice information and portfolio reports for review. Keep changes to payment instructions and account approvals with authorised staff.

Questions About Your Real Estate Services Team

Scope the role before recruitment, so everyone knows what the person will own and when to ask for guidance.

Can an offshore assistant manage maintenance requests?

The role can log requests, follow up information and coordinate approved suppliers. Your property manager decides urgency, spending and actions that require local inspection.

Can the role support both sales and property management?

It can if the volumes and skills fit. Separate listing deadlines from tenancy workflows in the brief and nominate the manager who resolves priority conflicts.

Who manages the person’s daily work?

Your business sets priorities, gives instructions and reviews the work. Covela recruits and employs your people, handles payroll and HR, and coordinates ongoing people support.

How long does recruitment take?

We assess your brief and provide candidate profiles within 48 hours. Hiring generally takes around two weeks, assuming two to three interview rounds and candidate refinement. The person may then start immediately or up to four weeks later, depending on their notice period.
